DIGEST:


1.  Employee of Department of the Army cla'i
    retroactive promotion and backpay for period
    of alleged wrongful classification. Claimant
    has no entitlement to backpay as civil service
    regulation provides for retroactive effective
    date for classification only when there is a
    timely appeal Which results in the reversal,
    in whole or in part, of a downgrading or other
    classification action which has resulted in the
    reduction of pay.  See 5 C.F.R. 532.702(b)(9)
    and ct. cases and Comp. Gen. decs. cited.


           2.  Employee of Department of the Army cleims a
               retroactive promotion and backpay for alleged
               improper detail to higher grade position in ex-
               cess of 120 days.  Agency has denied claim Lon
               basis that the established and classified hiahsr
               grade position to which the employee alleges derail
               was n6t vacant,  Agency shouli take action to
               determine whether employee was in face detailed
               tc and performed ddti6soof higher grade posi-
               tion in excess of 120 days.  There is no
               requirement under Turner-Caldweil, 56 Comp, Gen.
               427 (1977), that an established and classified
               pcition  be vacant in order to entitle an
               employee to retroactive temporary promotion and
               backpay incident to details to higher grade posi-
               tion.  See C.omp. Gen. decs. cited.
